The ex- perience he bas acquired as Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, his large know!- #dge of international law, his ripe scholarship, and his acquaintance with the leading men of Europe are qualiticstions that single him ont as most eminently fitted to deal with inter- national matters. But we doubt if he. or his friends for him, would deem it advisable for him to take either the cabinet premiership or the mission to England. Mr. Sumner’s posi- tion in the Senate is a sinenlarly independent And commanding one.

Tue Lebar Texper Cass is Tie SUPREME CovRT.—We have heretofore re- ferred to what are culled the legal-tender eases on trial in the Supreme Court of the United States. The brief elaborated by the Attorney General in tbe legal-tender cases is entitled in only two actions, but the argument is intended toapply toall these cases before the court, so far as they present the general ques- tion of the constitutionality oi the sia‘ate i volved. In Bronson, executor, vs. Rhod the case is this: Tender of currency was made in January, 1:65, in satisfaction of a mortgage given im 1851, to secure the payment ot fourteen hundred dollars, “in gold or sii ¥ coin of the United States, with interest in coin,” &c. The tender and discharge of the mortgaze were refused, and proceedings were instituted in the Supreme Cour: for Erie county, New York, to procure satisfaction. The judgement of the court was that the complainant pe dis- missed. Upon appeal tothe general term of the court that judgment was reversed, the mortgage adjudged paid, and the defendant re- quired to satisty it. Appeal was taken to the Court of Appeals, where the judginent of the general term was atllrmed. A writ of error to upow which the case is now here, Evarts, im bis argument, sabmits that the regulation of legal tender by Congress 1s not An encroachment on any autbority on that subject left in the States, and is not within avy prebibition upon the Federal Gevernment to be found in the Constitation, it must follow either that the Constitation itself has fixed the legal tender of the country, or that there is no Jegal comtroi of the subject anywhere, which is equivalent to saying that there is and can be no sueb thing as legal tender in the coant: that Congress has some authority i the ises, and thal authority (whatever be its m- ure) is the whole legai authority 6n the sub and its legisiation within that authority con: tutes the law of the lund on the subject. 1 mMmsnifest that the Constitution has not terms fized the iegal tender of the conntr It is equally manifest that it bas not in tert fixed the money of the country. This iat ter regulation is im terms enumerated among the powers of Congress; and if ihe Tecu- Jation of the money of the country cares the power of regulating the lez: ade in any degree, then Con osse=ses the In power im that degrae.

He said there was of course a difference of opinion between himself and Mr. Carpenter ou the subject, he being of the opiniou (nat the repeal did not affect this case, anu that judgment should be pronounced, and Mr. Carpenter takimg the reverse view. After consultation by the Court, the Chief Justice announced that the Court would bear argument on that point, leaving it to counsel to agree upon the time. At was subsequently arranged that the argu- ment should be made on the first Friday in February next. Tue CommitTeR oN FREEpMEN's Apramns had a meeting yesterday to consider the ques- tion of continuing the Freedmen’s Bureau in the States of Virgiuia, Texas and Mississippi. General Howard, Genera! Stoneman and Gov- ernor Wells were exammed. The two last named favored a continuance of the bureau. General Howard was understood to oppose the continaance, unequivocally at first, bat modified his views after tally considering Gen- eral Stoneman’s statement, and it is probable be will favor a hmited continuance. Kumor bas it that a majority of the committee 1s in favor of suspending the operations of the bu- reau every where.

THE REVENUE ComMissiONERSHIP.—A large number of Senators and Representatives are urging Commissioner Kollins not to retire from the Internal Revenue Department at this time, but remain until the close of the present Administration, at least.

Tue New INscRRECTION IN Sratn.—The insurrection in Spaim bas assumed a more alarming character than was at first reported. The p: Is of capitulation made by the in- surgents at Cadiz were rejected at the expira- tion of the armistice, and hostilities were com- menced. A desperate conflict took place, in which artillery was used, both by the Govern- mer “roops and the insurgents. The los: killea and wounded was heavy on both side: but the result was indecisive. The insurgents still occupy the Hotel de Ville aud the sur- Tounding district. The rebels have detained within the Hotel de Ville all the foreign con- suls they could se:ze, and hope by this means to ve able to prevent the threatened bombard. ment of that portion of the city by a vessel of war lying inthe harbor.

Th my opinion the course to be taken, atter connecting with the first named road, is from Farrawell or Guilford stations, on said road, to Aldie, and through the gap there, fol- lowing the course of Little river. « tributary of Goose Crrek, to the plains, in Fauquier coan- ty, on the Manzssas Gap road. The cost of coustructing such a road would be compar- atively little, as, from the points named on the Alexandria, Loudon and Hampsbire road, the country as gently undulating to Aldi, and be- yond the river opens a way through the hills, Where an ensy grade may be ob’amed, with no Steams of moment to cross on the whole route The Monassas Gap railroad will, when fin- ished, conneet With the Chesapeake and Unio Toad at Stanton. Although the distance to be traveled to reach the Federal capital trom the West would be greater than by ihe route proposed through Thornton's Gap, yet the advantage of comma- Dicating with aa immediate back coaniry of such exceeding beauty and fertility of soil, and the saying in the cost ef ceustiuction, wilt counterbalauce avy which the more direct ronte to the Chesapeake und Ohio road can offer. Mr. Garrett is pnsbing forward the branch of his road desigued to conuect with the Ma- uassus road at Strasburg; but that place will be cousiderably nearer the District of Colambia by my proposed road than Baltimore will be by the Balumere aud Ohio road. The grade on the latter road 1s heavy from Harper's Ferry to Baltimore; whereas from Strasburg to the Dis trict of Columbia the grade will be a very easy one, enabling the road to carry larger umount of freight with a gt wer. Acting upon my suggestion, Georgetown is endes voring to form a counection at a desi able point with the Alexanaria, Loudos, and pshire railroad, and procure authority for theextemsion to Aldie, with the view to reach eventually the Manassas Tond. With the assistance ot Washington this cin be accomplished at au day, and before a Legislature will probably be convened at Kichmond and take action to deprive these roads of the power to make such branches, Less than $1.00.000—probably $700,000—will pay the eget ot the whole work, and secure the benefits of these roads, the constraction of which has cost millions of dollars siready, and when bees pens ‘will bave cost many mile lions more.

With a velvet suit it is necessary to have others to save i, while & complete suit of cloth, poplin, or winrey, will lasc a senson, uud can be mule over usefully after wards, The little rage for pamers has also died ont, and though they are numerous upon the street, they are not considered a good style, nor is it advisable to make up mew dresses in that form. More or less, paniers will flourish through the Wiuter, but that will probably flaish them. ‘They are neither useful nor beautiful enough to obtain a lesting popularity. Abroad, winter costumes are remarkable only for the quality of the materials of which they are composed; the style is plam to severity. Ladies of the highest fashion are alco adopt ing the same tone here, reserving their great efforts, more properly, for the comparative seclusion of the d-awing-room. The most tashionable street dre=s consists of a skirt, walking-leogtb, flushed with or with. outa tlounce. A pardessus. oF peli-se, looped up at the sides with cords or pauds suspended from the wast, and finished with a caps ors series of capes. A suit of this description may b* made of vel- vet, or cloth, or wiasey, or poplia, or sage, or Waterproof, and trimmed subsiantally. ia ae cordance with the durable quality of the ma- terial. Asa rule, however, i:inges stonld not be used for heavy goods—narrow bands of fur, thick corded braids, aud gailuons aud the like are fur better. For skating costumes there is nothing so pretty as cloth trimmed wich turin narrew bands, garne . dark blue, dark green. mulberry, and vrown, the hose striped above the high, coquett'sh boots im the same shade, soquct. or jockey, of cloth, tar-trunmed to match. The Scoteh costumes area feature this sea- son of themselves. Some are made entirely of clin plaid, and trimmed with bullion fringe in the colors of the plud. O:hers ure fiaisned with fringe and round bows of black velvet, Pp up the sides and the cape at the back and upon the shoulders. Plaids for children should al ways be .rimmed ‘with black velvet. ‘The distinction between day and evening cos- tumes, or street or evening costumes, Was wever so marked as now. Plainuess, convenience, and usefullness are the rules for etreet attire; brilliant colors and great magnificence the re- quisites for ceremonions evening twilets. Light or striking colors are aiso in vogue tor all kind of indoor dress. Scarlet, for example. embroidered with white, and wai'e opera flan- nel, embroidered or braided with cural colvr, 4m coral patterns are among the the most ad- mired of the prety winter moraing dresses. Another and still mewer desiga consists ofa petticoat of violet merino, trimmed witha box- Plating pat on fatand completed by au over- dress of merino, striped in violet and white, cutasan apron ia tront, but lengthening off ioto a train behind, and trimmed with caffs, reverse at the throat, and an immense bow of Violet velvet, the latver forming a sort of panier Additivn to the back of the skirt. This last de- sign is new and very sty'ish. It may be made 4m any color or combination ot two colors, it preferred. Very rich silke or satins for mar- Tred ladies, and Whitetuile, trimmed with satin and trailinz flowers and sea-grasses. constitute the most distinguished toilets for evening wear. Trained dresses of very costly meterial are not as a rule very mach trimmed. a short, rounded basque, an immense bow at the back, and one wide end, edged with fringe, isa fa- yorite style.
